It's well known that the balls kicked less on the cloths used in the 70's and 80's with a heavier nap but the downside is the red's don't split so easily. It begs the question, what is more important? I would have thought a level playing field with fewer kicks albeit less frequent century breaks. It would also aleviate some of the problems of "big bounce" cushions. Also, are the balls used now lighter than those used in the 80's?
Thicker cloths = less kicks ?
